Calling applications for the ICCCAD Youth Fellowship Programme 2025!
Young people are the stewards of the future. Globally, youths are advocating for climate issues at local, national, and international levels. Youth are working to address their concerns and provide solutions to real-world problems regarding climate change. As youth are the largest demography and have the highest potential to bring changes, young voices and actions are considered critical in the climate change advocacy arena.

ICCCAD recognizes the contribution of youth in climate action and feels the importance of youth engagement in reframing climate ambitions. Thus, ICCCAD has designed a one-year-long fellowship programme where youth can be involved in the sector of climate change development and identify challenges through solution development by providing viable solutions for this vast sector. This programme will enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of the youth in local communities and raise these issues at national & international levels. The programme can also help young men and women to come forward from their positions and participate in the knowledge and awareness-building process by involving them in effective learning and capacity-building processes.
The Fellowship programme will be a one (1) year-long commitment. During the fellowship period, fellows will have the opportunity to get guidance from mentors, develop their projects, and execute activities that have a meaningful impact on climate change and development. Depending on the nature of the training modality, youth fellows are encouraged to connect with other ICCCAD youth fellow alumni. The youth fellows will also get the opportunity to join or work with other youth programme initiatives and programme s of ICCCAD.
